Wake window for an 19mo

I always hear of children my DD age having a 2 hour nap on the afternoon, but my daughter needs to be awake by 1pm if I want her to be asleep for 7:30pm. She always needs at least a 6 hour window.

Is there anyone else that has this?

There's nothing wrong with 6 hours. My lo can do it on a good day. We're at 5.5 hours on general consensus with 18 month old near 19 month old.

My LO would nap for hours if I'd let it happen! But I had to start capping naps for max 1hr at about 19/20m old because they just weren't tired enough by bedtime (which used to take sometimes 2hrs).

23m now and naps for 1hr, and it has to happen between 12-2pm. Any longer or later in the day and disaster again at bedtime.
